Flotilla Sailing in Meganisi

The Meganisi flotilla is an English flotilla and allows you to discover the treasures of the Ionian Sea.

Gentle morning breezes and energetic afternoon breezes regularly caress the Ionian Sea, making Meganisi (Spartochori), Kalamos, Ithaca (Vathi) and the tranquil bay of Vlycho the perfect destinations for a week-long flotilla sailing holiday in Greece.

Sail from Lefkada across the Ionian Sea, where beautiful beaches, traditional Greek villages and vibrant marine life await.

With short daily distances, easy sailing within sight and calm, and sheltered waters, the Meganisi flotilla holiday truly showcases the best of the diverse Ionian landscape.

Flotilla Sailing from Lefkada

Flotilla Sailing from Lefkada

Lefkada is known for the beautiful green coastlines of the Ionian Sea.

This is immediately noticeable when you are in a beautiful bay, because the contrast with the turquoise blue water is fantastic! And there are plenty of bays, along with picturesque harbours, everything is easily accessible, so you can quickly alternate if desired, nice and easy.

Flotilla sailing in Lefkada is perfect for anyone who can sail reasonably well and would like to discover Greece. Ideal for scaling up from inland waters to the sea. This way you become familiar with anchoring in Greece and you also learn something during your sailing holiday in Greece.

A BBQ on the beach or a Greek evening with food, drinks and dancing? All ingredients are present for successful flotilla holidays in Greece!

Complete Freedom During the Meganisi Flotilla

Because the weather here is often calm, and the distances are fairly short, this flotilla is ideal for families with children. During a sailing day, you therefore have enough time to regularly take a swimming or lunch break.

You may be taking part in a group holiday, but so you have all the freedom and there are no social obligations.

We are happy to advise you on the best place to anchor around Meganisi during your sunny sailing holiday in Greece.

Sailing Climate of the Ionian Sea

The Ionian Sea has an excellent climate for sailing in the summer. Summers in this area are long, hot and dry. The seawater has a pleasant temperature early in the year.

The wind is quite constant, with wind force between 3 and 5 Beaufort - perfect sailing weather. Ideal for beginners and families with children.

The English Flotilla Guidance

Of course, a successful sailing holiday depends on the weather, the sun, the sea and the flotilla guidance. In addition to conviviality, safety is of course critical during the sailing holiday.

During the Meganisi flotilla, professional English-speaking guidance is available on the mother ship, who are always ready for mooring and anchoring. They also plot the route (with input from the participants) and keep an eye on the weather for everyone.

There is no fixed flotilla guide in the weeks offered, so that can differ. However, they are all eager to give you a great experience in Greece.

Day 1

Check-in in Lefkada
Start your flotilla holiday in the traditional Greek village of Lefkada. Enveloped by the emerald green Ionian, Lefkada is draped in miles of heavenly beaches famous across the Greek islands. Meet the rest of your flotilla companions and explore the narrow alleys of Lefkada, or head to the beaches along the west coast. From sweeping arches of uninterrupted sand to secluded, white-stone shores, beaches of every shape and size await.

Day 2

Lefkada - Spartochori, Meganisi
Your first leg (roughly 2.5 hours, 11 nautical miles) takes you to Spartochori, a picturesque hillside village overlooking the Ionian Sea on the island of Meganisi. Known for its traditional Greek architecture, olive groves and relaxed atmosphere, it's a favourite first stop close to Lefkada. Swim in the crystal-clear Agios Nikolaos Bay, hike up to the viewpoints above the village, or visit the Papanikolis Cave, once used by a submarine during WWII.

Day 3

Spartochori - Kalamos
Today (about 2 hours 40, 13 nautical miles) you sail along the coast of Meganisi to the town and eponymous island of Kalamos. The harbour is a lovely place to moor, with shops, traditional tavernas and Greek bars dotted along the harbour and beachfront. Walk up to the monastery ruins for a fantastic view over the Ionian, and keep an eye out for dolphins along the way.

Day 4

Kalamos - Vathy
From the town of Kalamos, turn straight south and take the longest leg of the week - a 20-nautical-mile range to Vathi, on the famous island of Ithaca, home of Odysseus. Continue along the coast until you reach a narrow waist 200 meters wide. Navigate through the narrow entrance to Kolpos Molou Bay, which houses the town of Vathi, the capital of Ithaca. Moor up and enjoy this centre of Greek archaeology, folklore and culture.

Day 5

Vathy - free sailing day
Today is your day to shine. Put your sailing skills to the test and gain confidence on the water with your free day of sailing. Make your way to the secluded coves and harbours scattered across the Ionian Sea, stopping at sleepy fishing villages along the way or simply relaxing. It's all up to you. Whatever you choose, your lead crew is ready to give you top tips and the latest weather reports.

Day 6

Vlycho
Vlycho is a small, tranquil bay on the southeastern coast of Lefkas, known for its calm waters and stunning natural beauty. It's a favourite spot among sailors to unwind after a week of sailing, with traditional Greek charm and lovely views of the surrounding islands. Relax, swim or paddle in the calm bay, visit Vlycho village with its cosy tavernas, or take a short walk - Lefkada town is just nearby.

You may even have time to explore the town's charming boutiques and jewellery galleries or take a pleasant walk to Faneromeni Monastery for picturesque views over the sea and the salt marshes.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Meganisi's flotilla leave?

Meganisi's flotilla departs from Lefkada city. Here, you have the public port and Lefkas Main Port, where most of Tubber's partners are located.

Which airport should I fly to if I want to sail in this Flotilla?

Lefkada is easily accessible from Preveza Airport. From here, it is about a 30-minute taxi ride. Tubber can help you arrange a transfer with our new service.

When does Meganisi's flotilla sail?

The Meganisi flotilla departs from the end of May and sails weekly until the end of September.

Do I need a sailing license to participate in a Flotilla?

No, you do not necessarily need a license to sail in a flotilla. For example, you can also hire a skipper to do the sailing. In Greece, it is not mandatory to have a License I or License II if you want to sail yourself. But some landlords may ask for it. In most cases, a certificate (CV) with sailing experience is sufficient.

Is Meganisi's flotilla suitable for children?

We at Tubber often refer to Lefkada and the surrounding area as the beginner's area for sailors. The sailing conditions are very favourable and the area is perfect for a bit of sailing, grabbing a bay and sailing again. This is ideal for sailing with (young) children! There is also much to do, and many young adults can indulge in the various entertainment options.

What are the average daily distances of the flotilla from Meganisi?

Daily distances during the Meganisi flotilla range from roughly 11 to 20 nautical miles, with the crossing to Vathi (Ithaca) being the longest leg of the week. All subject to weather conditions and the wishes of the group.

Which bays, islands and harbours will the Meganisi flotilla visit?

The area offers many options. During this flotilla you visit, among others, Spartochori on Meganisi, Kalamos, Vathi on Ithaca and the tranquil bay of Vlycho.

Do I sail independently in a flotilla or always with the group?

In the flotilla, you sail under the pleasure and convenience of an experienced mothership. You are not expected to constantly sail in a group. Feel free to take a dip in a self-discovered bay, for example.
